The FactiOnist Doubling Up.

Whenever the refOrmers are in u
minority, they refuse to accept defeat
and Immediately organize q contest or
split of some kind, or seek, by some
arbitrary action, to secure control.-
Times Democrat.
Here is outlined briefly just the trou-
BILE against which the Chronicle has
been warning the Democracy of the
State for several months.
1t was easy to see by the tone of the
speakers and press of both factions that
bad blood was being engendered, which
could hardly be expected TO be elimi-
mated from the party by the action of
the State nominating convention. AL
ready several parishes have elected Z
double set of delegates to that con ven-
ton, and it is difficult to see how har>
mony eau be preserved.
But unfortunately there is a long
time yet to eiapse before the conven-
ton meets, and the malign influences
are sill at work doing evil. Can the
end be anything else than party split,
and two sets Of candidates put in the
field, unless the factions are suppressed
and third man put in the field to rep.
resent the united party?
This 10 a work which should engage
the attention Of every patriotic citizen
OF the State-every man who prefers
that the principles of Democracy shall
prevail. To permit this bitter faction
war to go on is to invite defeat at the
next election, and to hold out INDUCE
ments to the Republican party 10 or.
ganize successful! campaigp.-N q.

A Real "Newspapcr Boss"
fN. Y. Worfd.1

~. 4 WOfIu.
The Gar OF Russia is a big political
boss, with power which the little
bossel In this country must envy. He
has lately appointed committee OF
four Of his trusted benchmen to select
an editor for the Moscow Gazette Ia
place OF M. Kato7, deceased.
How happy the political bosses here
would be II they could make and un-
make the editors OF the public Jour-
nails They would then never be
troubled with "unsought advice"
Their derelictIons would never becom-
mented on. Bad nominations would
be sugar-coated 10 order. Stealing
would be easy and safe. The machinery
of government, in fact, would be pro-
PEELED by boss power, transmitted
through an endIe 80 chain oflittle rings.
How the little bosses must envy the
big boss, Alexander, his privilege of
appointing the editors! But how would
the people like 1t?

enjoys in common with every Demo-
crat In the State. There is nothing in
bis character or in his record which
justifies the ATTACKS that have been
made upon him by the more viruleDt
and noisy followers OF Governor Nc
Emery. An educated gentleman, an
old and distinguished soldier of the
Confederacy, Democrat ever true and
faithful when Democracy was most in
need OF friends, statesman who has
brought an exceltional degree Of talent

depreciation and misrepresentation.
No Louisiana Congressman since the

more TO advance the material interests
Of this commonwealth. For the part
taken by him in the memorable strug.

refer the public to the following testi-

quite as much connected with them and
